I make $3-5k a month from my golf betting algorithm website: https://www.golfforecast.co.uk

About half of the income is from algorithm profits and half from subscription fees. Feedback/questions appreciated!

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of background do you have to have to develop something like this?

These sorts of things blow my mind, and I have no idea where one would start.

Is this very UK specific? In that golf betting is bigger in UK than USA?

Interesting that you trade your own predictions. That's a good sign.

When did you start this? There were companies like numberfire in the US that did this for American football and baseball.
